How To Create Exterior Simplicity

The hedge is brilliant. Vine on the risers is more brilliant.

Topiaried green meatballs are fun. Terra cotta on the table? Perfection.
.
Notice the lack of pattern on the textiles? Be careful with exterior textile pattern. Very careful.
.
Many interior rooms look onto this view. Without going inside I know it's an obvious Vanishing Threshold. Without going inside I know the owners.
.How little can the landscape have and hold together? Whoever 'tossed' out this much simplicity is good. Very good.
.Low maintenance, weekly blow & trimming 2x/year.
.Choose a color theme. It should flow from the interiors.
